Orwell, the question isn't about whether Pisces or I can defend ourselves but why we (or anyone) should bother (or have to). We're all meant to be working as a team here, not dealing with each other's neuroses. I kind of enjoy your posting style, as you have thick skin and say exactly what you think.

People come and go for a whole host of reasons and not always what they may state at various times to make their own points.

I'll be 100% blunt. The whole reason I don't post here now, except when tagged is that I couldn't stand the passive aggressive style of some of the more senior members, who should be mature enough to know much better. I'll guarantee you they know who they are too! Building their select favourites up on a pedestal for making small trading calls when you've taken the time to research and post on a stock for months, to help get folk set early. Same sort of people cherrypicking the one or two you get wrong in the ST and going to lengths to tell us all how wretched they are. I know a number who don't post here now for that and other reasons. 95% of folk here are fantastic and really enjoy interacting, helping, learning. 5%, who should know better, spoil it.

And lastly, just as Andrew alluded to; so much focus on trying to predict where markets and macros are going to be at some point in the future. Worrying about this and that every day. Just don't get it. I just want to share and be shared with, stock codes that I can go away and research that might make me money. Or research on why to stay away from xyz stock. Or sector specific research from people who have experience in a certain field. Never hurts to be aware of the general macros, as a guide, but i've also seen it turn into analysis paralysis here quite a bit and keep people from trading what's been a very, very strong, spec market.
